Teaberry Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 4,872 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.7/10 · range 4.4–5.4

Teaberry spans 2 census tracts of Braintree Town, MA, population 4,872. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.6/10.

Against a Braintree Town baseline of 31.7%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 4.4 to 5.4. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Average gross rent is $2,297, 13% above the Braintree Town average of $2,024. 3.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Food insecurity affects 8.8% of adults, 9.0 points below the national rate.

Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Buckingham Place and Liberty Heights score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $148,828, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
